With a multifaceted career spanning over 12 years, Coloma Muro stands out as a prominent figure in the coaching industry, combining her roles as a licensed psychologist, neuroscientist, primatologist, and international mindfulness teacher. Her holistic approach to personal growth and empowerment is informed by her extensive background in psychology and neuroscience, uniquely blended with mindfulness and spirituality. Muro’s coaching methods prioritize sustainable healing from within, equipping her clients—among them celebrities, CEOs, and TEDx speakers—with the tools they need to tap into their fullest potential. Her one-on-one coaching sessions provide actionable and individualized steps that foster resilience, promote well-being, and ultimately lead to a balanced and fulfilling life.

Muro’s journey toward a life of service and self-empowerment began in traditional research and clinical practice, which then led her to an unconventional turning point. After years in the corporate and clinical worlds, she decided to leave it behind, buying a one-way ticket to Bali to immerse herself in ancient medicine and yoga philosophy. This transformative experience was met with an unexpected challenge: a motorbike accident that left her with a grim prognosis of possibly never walking again. Rather than resisting her circumstances, Muro embraced the opportunity to accept her condition. This profound shift led her to deepen her commitment to supporting others to connect with gratitude and to live mindfully. After relocating to Venice, California, she found her community and established herself as an empowerment coach, dedicated to helping clients overcome past trauma, break free from unhealthy patterns, navigate life transitions, and build fulfilling relationships.

Through her roles with organizations such as the Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID), the American Holistic Health Association (AHHA), and The Embody Lab, Muro’s work extends beyond individual coaching, contributing to broader wellness initiatives that encourage individuals to make positive lifestyle choices. Her philosophy centers on the belief that health and happiness encompass physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, which ultimately enhances quality of life. This integrative perspective informs her consulting work as well, as she applies her expertise in marketing, communications, and project management to philanthropic projects that align with her vision for a more conscious and liberated society.

At the heart of Muro’s mission is her recent publication, Raw and Unmasked, a book that represents her devotion to fostering self-awareness and empowerment on a larger scale. This guide invites readers to reclaim their sovereignty by examining and relinquishing cultural expectations and ingrained societal conditioning. Combining scientific principles with holistic techniques, Raw and Unmasked offers strategies to reprogram the nervous system, reconnect with one’s body, and adopt new narratives to access abundance, joy, and personal freedom. Muro describes her concept of “intimacy within” as a vital element for nurturing fulfilling connections, both with oneself and others, forming the foundation of fulfilling relationships and a satisfying life. Through this book, she aims to provide accessible tools for readers to cultivate inner harmony and embark on a journey toward their most authentic selves.

Muro’s unique approach to coaching leverages her expertise in neuroscience and psychology, creating a framework that not only addresses clients’ immediate challenges but also equips them with long-term strategies for mental resilience and wellness. Her emphasis on brain health and neuroplasticity allows clients to understand that change and growth are possible through consistent, intentional practices. She guides clients to engage with techniques that aid in rewiring mental patterns, facilitating a pathway toward emotional regulation, personal satisfaction, and sustainable health. In doing so, her work transcends conventional methods, offering a science-backed, mindfulness-infused path to healing.
